    Tourist Information Bureau Services Year 2 Annual Plan

    TOURIST INFORMATION BUREAU SERVICES YEAR 2 ANNUAL PLAN TOURIST INFORMATION BUREAU SERVICES Visit Jacksonville will serve as the premier expert on tourist attractions, activities and events, accommodations, and restaurants available to tourists who visit Jacksonville. In accordance with Section 666.108(b)(1), Ordinance Code, Visit Jacksonville will continue operate and staff the City’s Tourist Bureau. The Tourist Information Bureau Services to be performed shall consist of the three functions required under the Tourist Development Plan: 1) visitor centers 2) comprehensive listings 3) assembly of available information EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2017-2018 has been a year of discovery for our tourist information bureau efforts. Opening the new fully staffed Beaches Visitor Center provided a wonderful opportunity to be much more engaged in the beaches area. We hired new staff that resides in the area and have developed a strong bond with the Beaches Museum & History Park. We participated in the Opening of the Beaches Parade to make locals and visitors more aware that we are open. Though our initial traffic was slow, we are seeing improved visitation numbers and know that once there is more awareness of our center we will see traffic numbers increase. Our efforts for comprehensive listings has been a wonderful undertaking, introducing us to new businesses throughout the city. It is challenging to keep up with all the new business, but even more so to keep track of those that have closed or moved locations. In the future, we will create a relationship with the Tax Collector’s Office to obtain a listing of all new businesses applying for a local business receipt within our industry.
